Mr. Giant - Leader of the evil organization, about a full head taller than 00, which isn't saying much. Shot by 00.

The Plot:

Few films will ever come close to this one, it is just plain wrong and the dubbed dialog hardly helps. Who cares though? It's a dubbed midget spy film from the Philippines, for some reason I feel the DVD should glow around the edges and be accompanied by a chorus.

When the brilliant scientist Dr. Kohler is kidnapped by an evil organization the forces of good call on Agent 00 to rescue him. Don't worry that he has to jump kick people in the knees, this guy is lethal. In addition to his hand to hand skills, the agent is an accomplished marksman. One of the amusing things he does is slide across the floor firing his pistol and boy does he slide, one would suspect he is being thrown by a crew member. Tell me that some guy ready to toss Weng Weng along the floor when the director yells, "Action!" is not funny. (I don't believe you.) The pistol/submachine gun he uses is quite a bit of work, especially putting it together. Good thing all the bad guys give him time to assemble it.

For the most part the film is a blur of gunfights, clandestine meetings, a disco club, and simply confusing stuff, but finally Agent 00 locates the secret island Mr. Giant uses for a hideout. Evil gets the short end of the stick as numerous guards with red berets are gunned down by the triumphant good guys. You'll never look at a Bond film the same again.

Things I Learned From This Movie:

The Philippines possesses the most powerful weapon known to man.

Getting kicked in the tailbone will stun you.

Hotel registers are public information.

Poison detection devices should be made out of the best conductor available, as in electrical.

Kindergarten children have the disposable income targeted by drug dealers. (Another example of poor marketing research.)

Midgets like to hide under tables and smash people's toes.

Dirty rags make excellent gas masks.

A midget and a woman in high heels can outrun four healthy men.

Secret tracking devices should not have blinking lights on them.

Spraying a room with submachine gun bullets will kill everyone except the good guys.

Stuff To Watch For:

3 mins - Mirror, mirror on the dresser...

11 mins - He picks up a watch, but when we cut to him it's magically turned into a pendent.

13 mins - Where is Q when you need him to explain gadgets?

16 mins - Who in the heck thought this scene up? Hehehehe!

36 mins - You know, the floor in this room looks really familiar...

44 mins - A normal person would be cramped and uncomfortable inside that box.

53 mins - The guard cannot see 00 hiding?

59 mins - Let's not do this, please? Whew.

62 mins - Is that a reference to "Fantasy Island?"

75 mins - Where have I seen that floor before?

After stumbling across both this site and this review (For Your Height Only) I have decided to have a movie night with several co-workers and theme it around this movie. I expect it will be within three weeks and I will post the results here. It will be my first viewing also. It's available at a Tower Records near me. I cannot wait!

rarely do films become a source for,apparently,several 1000 in-jokes,but this one has!found in a bargain bin at woolworths for a few $$,we sat in total disbelief the entire running time.why hasn't this gotten a bigger push in the badfilm sweepstakes?put this on a double bill with 'Blood Freak" and you are asking for it.add "Black Devil Doll From Hell" and your children will grow up in a world of despair the likes of which we have never known..by the way,where are the entries for "Blood Freak" and "Black Devil Dol.."??no bad film site is complete withot them.see also "Giant Spider Invasion" and "Alien Factor"...

This is a GREAT pothead movie, I can't stress that enough!!!!! TOKE and WATCH IT! :-) After seeing it tons of times, I watched it while shrooming, and it was way too much... it sent me in to a depressing bad trip... but nothing a hot shower and good friends couldn't take me out of. I think it was because of the bad acting, lol. The best part is when the special weapons are being described by Weng Weng's boss... CAN he be more vague? Hahaha!
